I received an advance copy of From Baghdad, With Love for review at Bookslut.com. I expected it to be a very heartwarming story about a soldier trying to save a stray puppy from Iraq and it certainly is that kind of book but I was surprised to find also an excellent war memoir here - the sort of book about Iraq that I don't think we have seen nearly enough of. The author is an active duty marine but he manages not to overly politicize his story - amazingly this is the sort of book that will appeal to those who both support and oppose the war. More than anything though it is just about how it is over there - how utterly insane it is - for US troops and civilians. On top of all of that it is also about why saving an animal in Iraq could mean so much to a soldier, something that I imagine few Americans realize is even happening everyday.

From Baghdad, With Love is a wonderful surprise and will equally appeal to both male and female readers. It is a sure bet for dog lovers but beyond that, for anyone trying to understand the impact the situation in Iraq is having on our soliders (and that means all of Americans), this should be viewed as critical reading.
